GEORGIA WiE E K L Y OJPMlNIIliOiN THE WEEKLY OPINION. THE CITY. Ficm The Daily Onxiox ot Monday. J AnnK*TPD.—Joe. Brown (colored) wa» arrested title evening by tlio military for threatening colored voters for voting the Gonlon ticket, Thk Electiox To-Day.—The morning wj» dark ami cloudy, with rain falling oc casionally In heavy showers* Yet by seven o'clock, the hour for opening the polls, not less than a thousand whites and blacks had assembled within and around the Court House. When the polls were opened general rush was uiado lor tho different doors where the tickets were received. Then began tho usual excited electioneer ing by both political parties, and each seemed determined to out do the other in tho way of securing votes. Tho most of the work seemed to be expended upon the colored men, some of wlioui seemed to stand the pressure and vote as they had intended when they left their homes. The Radical tickets wero printed upon blue paper, with an engravlngofa rail road train on the hack, the train running upward on the ticket. The Democratic tickets were white, yellow, red and n dark blue, with the train on the hack, tho locomotive heading downward. The Rad icals kept n sharp lookout for tho dark blue tickets, and were quite active In rush ing around to sec that none of them Were voted by the Intelligent colored sovereigns. The negroes were all excitement, and en gaged In expounding tho new Constitu tion ns valuably, If not as intelligently, us so many Webster* might have done. Home rather rich scenes occurred. One negro came In. elbowing hb way through tho crowd, saying he wanted to vote. “ Have you a ticket," asked a young gentleman with h roll of blue tickets In his iiatid. Just at this moment another young man approached the colored man, and asked him to take a white tickets— “O, lyes,” said the shade, 1 * 111 take It nod will remember you when 1 see you again." Another negro cried out: ‘•Gib me de Express ticket; 1 goes on dat train." " 1 can't ride on dat Bullock concern. It's too near busted; I goes on de Gordon wagon." said another. Every white man had some especial ne gro to electioneer, and every negro seemed to have some sable brother under bis charge. Many of the uninitiated were constantly searching for some new Information, yet asking the same questions over and over— all showing that desire to have those whom they have been wont to regard as their su periors to be familiar with them. •‘ Golly," said one ancient shade, u deso big folks do come down to us now. After de election dey won’t .-peak to us common niggers." White men of every class and party seemed to think it a duty to be iu close caucus with the negro, and did not shrink from imploring ids vote; the candidates were partietihuly so. We overheard one candidate in conver sation with a colored man. when something like the lollowlng conversation ensued: “llow arc gou going to vote?" “I’ll vote as Mars .Songo does," replied the negro. “Then you will vote against your race." Jald the candidate. *•1 don’t euro if 1 do." replied the negro, ‘•1 am free and will vote as 1 please*" a Wh»t l- your name?" was the next question. The darkey gave ir. What tho mative was for asking tiie negro for his name we do not know. -You got ills face on your ticket ?" asked one negro of another, at the same time showing a photograph of Col. Bullock. “Go way wid dat huv," said tho other, • liar's too much iielly for do face." A colored man named Aaron Dobha pro claimed publicly that lie had been paid three weeks ago to work for Col. Bullock and the Radical ticket, and that he then had the money III his pocket. Tills state ment he repented three or four times. In a very loud tone, and iu the hearing of at Jpast twenty person*. Although the whole Hall III the lower story of the Court House was crowded, and some live or six hundred whites and blacks on the outside, yet the utmost good order prevailed.

Affrighted, she run down ii|m>11 the railroad track, lie i**r*uiiig her, nut fortunately was met by olllcer Jack Smith, who cheeked lihu in Ills wild career.

He might just as well conic lu, for the olllcer* arc after him. Wiikkk’s that Laxd and Mclk?—Quite it number of colored men have been making Inquiries upon the street for the office ot* the man who was to give them the laml and the mules if they would vote tho Radical ticket. This may not be what would legally Ik? called corruption or tho sacred Ballot Box, but It looks to us ilko something very nearly akin to it. When political parties are reduced to such straiu in this. It seems to us that lc would lie much better for their reputation as a party, that they close out and bo hon orably defeated. If a |K>lltlc*l party uses corrupt mean* te secure the office* of a State, they will most certainly use tbe of fices til the same way, little earing how much the State may suffer. Tbe man who will report to lo«v and unlawful means to get position, u ill prostitute that position to low* and unlawful uses. Well may tho people leur the success of the Radical party.

Townsend axi> thk Klkction at Marietta.—Wc were pleased to he inform ed by a gentleman from Marietta, that tor tho fairness and good order of the election In Cobb county, they arc indebted to Brevet Lieut. Col. Townsend, who Is temporarily In command at Marietta. This we knew would be tho result when we learned that this officer had bcon assigned to that post. Col. Townsend graduated at West Point lu 1850, and after two years* service In the Third Artillery, resigned Ills com mission and entered upon the practice of law lu Detroit, Michigan. When the war began, he tendered his services to the gov- inent and was appointed a Captain and as signed to the 10th Infantry, then a new regiment in the regular army. From the first occupation of Nashville, Tennessee, he was chief Ordnance officer of that depot, amt supplied General Sher man with all theamiiKiultlon he spent upon Atlanta.

The Republican party lias become oneof extreme, narrow proscriptive measures; so much so that the more patri otic and able men of the organization are abandoning it.

From Information, however, derived Iroui per sona who have watched the polls very cloeely since they opened, wo think It may be safely sahl that it will lie found, when the votes are all counted tills evening, that Whitfield has gone the entire Conservative ticket by at least one hundred and fifty , majority* Gordon will run ahead of the j ticket—nU majority, wc doubt not, will be I at least two hundred and fifty.

But we think mat they and the devil will not succeed this time.

Venable, received tlic entire vote of t>oth parties. Floyd County.—Tho Romo Courier of the 25th say* It I* believed that about fifty negroes in Unit town voted for Gonlon. The total vote I* 2/1.19; White*. 1,296; Col ored, 742.' It is probable that Gordon’s mu|ority III tho city will lie about five hun dred. The vote of last October stood a* follow*: For Convention, 057; Against Convention. 5; Not voting on the question, 1.423; Total Registered vote 2.397. So it seems that some three hundred dhl not vote in tin* Inst election. Mi scoork County.—Tho 8m* ami Times of the 24tli says: The total vote is given at 2.791. It i* said that some 150 white regis tered |ier*on* did not vote, and that over 175 additional were prevented from voting by the arbitrary action off he Registrars. Not fifty whites voted for Bullock, whilst over a third of the negroes voted for Gor don.

General Schofield Is regarded by those who know him as a Conservative, and If court rim'd would probably act In harmony with the President. But the Senate regards Mr. Stanton as the Secretary of War, and It Is not proba ble that hotly would throw away so pliant a tool us lie k for one they could not con trol. Ami more than this. It would look a |ioor exchange to give the Commission of k Major-General for a ten months lease upon a Cabinet office. We think the Pres ident la wasting time In bidding for the Military Chieftains of Jhe country.
